The three-act structure of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it segments the game perfectly, and lets players progress in a more streamlined way so they don\u2019t get overwhelmed. On the other hand, the difference in settings can lead to tonal whiplash, and some players are scared by the idea of leaving areas forever. When the game was first released, the game\u2019s third act, which sees your party finally arrive at the titular city of Baldur\u2019s Gate, was criticized more than the others. Players felt there was a noticeable dip in quality and game performance in the city, and that the story became less compelling. Now that the dust has settled though, some players are seeing the final act in a different light, and it seems like the community\u2019s perception of the ending could be changing as a whole. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player defends \u201cexciting\u201d Act 3 One player even went so far as to say that the community \u201clied about Act 3\u201d on the Baldur\u2019s Gate subreddit. They said: \u201cSo much of the conversation I saw about Act 3 was that it was rushed, it didn\u2019t feel as \u201ccomplete\u201d as Acts 1 or 2, and that it overall just didn\u2019t measure up. \u201cI honestly feel like Act 3 was borderline overwhelmingly large, and it was stuffed with encounters, some of which were uniquely challenging. Giving characters their pinnacle story moments with exciting fights just made for a ton of exciting content.\u201d Several players in the comments agreed, though there were still players who stuck by their original stance. One player said: \u201cMy biggest problem with Act 3 is the amount of comments from companions and banter, which is close to 0. You can go for hours without talking with anyone about anything and not talking with your romance I felt like everyone suddenly stopped caring.\u201d Whatever the community reaction to the story is, it probably won\u2019t stop Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 from winning big at the Game Awards this year.
